Washington Water Rights—A Sketch, Arval A. Morris Aug 1956

Washington Water Rights—A Sketch, Arval A. Morris

Washington Law Review

The general water policy applicable to unappropriated land within Washington Territory was that of prior appropriation and was announced by the Congress at an early date.6 Congressional enactments were passed in order to conform policy to the then existing practice of appropriation of water to a beneficial use and to encourage settlement of new areas. The Desert Land Act of 1877 effected a severance of all unappropriated non-navigable water from the public domain and made these waters publici juris. In addition, the states, including those forthcoming from the territories, were given plenary control over the severed water and were allowed …

Real Property - Water Rights - Liability For Discharge Of Surface Water, Robert E. Hammell Feb 1956

Real Property - Water Rights - Liability For Discharge Of Surface Water, Robert E. Hammell

Michigan Law Review

In 1950 the corporate defendants purchased a forty acre tract of farm land lying north of plaintiffs' golf course and restaurant. Drainage from this tract had always flowed in a natural course southerly through plaintiffs' land. The defendant corporations constructed a subdivision of 169 homes on the tract. This change aggravated the discharge of surface water onto the land of the plaintiffs, increasing the run-off some 350 percent and, in times of heavy rains, producing flood conditions. Plaintiffs were awarded damages and an injunction by the trial court. On appeal, held, reversed. In respect to 30 acres of defendants' …

Real Property - Easements - Right To Take Water From A Pond As Absolute, Exclusive Profit In Gross, Stephen J. Martin S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

One Divine owned a small natural lake and a mill nearby. He dammed the lake, and ran a pipe from it to his mill. At times he sold water after it left the mill to defendant's assignor, who owned a hotel near the mill. In 1919 Divine sold the lake to plaintiff's assignor, reserving to himself the right to dam the lake and draw off water from it, so long as the level stayed between high and low water marks. Then Divine sold the mill lot to defendant's assignor, who closed it down, but continued to take water through the …

Waters—Appropriation—Riparian Rights, G. Keith Grim Feb 1952

Waters—Appropriation—Riparian Rights, G. Keith Grim

Washington Law Review

Action by a water district to appropriate and condemn water for domestic uses from a nonnavigable lake. All the riparian land was privately owned by persons who used the lake for boating, bathing, and fishing. One tract was planted in berries and intensively fertilized, and drainage from it seeped into the lake. The trial court held that boating, bathing, fishing, and reasonable agricultural pollution were riparian rights which would be damaged by operation of the state health laws protecting water supplies, and awarded compensation for the resulting depreciation in land values. Appeal. Held: Affirmed. Petition of Clinton Water District, 36 …

Water Boundaries, Tide And Shore Land Rights, John Scott Obenour Jr.

Washington Law Review

Waterfront property, though extremely popular in Washington, presents problems of ownership with which few residents are familiar. The effect of transitory water boundaries upon the divisible proprietary interests is especially complex since the present status of such boundaries is uncertain under our court's interpretation of the applicable statutes.

Held, that the lake which was deemed navigable before it dried up was still a navigable lake although no water was in it; that as a navigable lake the ownership of the bed was in the state in trust …
